Quit drinking 2 years ago and life is unreal

Mar 81 min read

Not trying to preach here but this needed to be said somewhere. I was a 'functional' drinker for like 10 years. Couple beers every night, heavier on weekends. My wife was at her limit, my kids barely knew real me. Two years sober and I'm a completely different guy. Remember things. Save money. Don't wake up ashamed. What do I miss? The escape honestly. When stuff got hard I had my crutch. Now I have to actually feel things and deal with problems. It's harder sometimes but I'm here. Really here. My oldest asked me the other day if I was happy and I actually knew the answer.

That's huge man, genuinely proud of you. Two years is real and the fact that you're still here showing up for your kids every day is what matters most.

This is the kind of post that needs to be out there. Takes guts to share something real like that. Your kids are lucky to have a dad who's present and working on himself.
